Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly came to OCCK in Salina Thursday to announce more than $13.2 million of funding for 48 public transit projects across the state. Transit agencies in Kansas, including OCCK, will receive funding as part of the Access, Innovation and Collaboration (AIC) Public Transit Program. OCCK, provides transportation services to the general public, seniors and persons with disabilities through a variety of programs. It was chosen as the place for the announcement because of its successful expansion of the bus facility at the organization’s transportation complex, which was partially funded by Kansas Department of Transportation and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grants and was completed in November 2021. “What you see happening here in Salina is a prime example of a community and a region working together to make public transportation a viable option for many Kansans,” Kelly said.
